Rejected petition Invite refugees currently stranded at US airports to claim asylum in the UK

The UK should not support Donald Trump's inhumane ban on refugees entering the US. The UK government should demonstrate that we are a civilised country by inviting refugees currently stranded at US airports, or who have been deported from US airports since the ban was imposed, to claim asylum here.
